The latest text in the Core Concepts in Higher Education series,
this volume speaks to the complex dimensions that higher education
scholars and educators need to understand about the shifting role
of postsecondary education in the United States. Chapter authors
clarify current issues affecting the field, and offer fresh
perspectives articulating how policy, demographic, and
institutional changes influence the everyday practices of those who
work in higher education. This book explores macro perspectives
affecting institutional decision-making and processes as well as
students' perspectives on campus-from colleges' credentialing
procedures to the current demographic changes in students'
enrollments, to students' social identities. Guiding questions at
the end of each chapter offer readers an opportunity to frame
discussions in which they can engage and invite readers to consider
avenues for future research and exploration. This is a valuable
resource for graduate students, administrators, and researchers who
seek to understand and improve the policies and contexts of higher
education today.
